.:.impossible Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks for the tip. Keep us updated on the DVD. I like this band's first CD. Matter of fact, everyone I know that has heard it likes it. The second one doesn't come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 ... and I forgot to push a cassette into my recorder ... A nice gig, although I don't quite like Ribot's slightly kaputt stage personality. The drums/timbales player, Roberto Juan Rogriguez, is way cool - playing the hottest stuff in a totally relaxed fashion. The vocals by E.J. Rodriguez and his conga playing are a little extrovert, to my taste, and the band vocals border on parody, which, judging from the studio CDs, is intended. Ubu, get the second CD - I think it is even better - more drum solos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubu, get the second CD - I think it is even better - more drum solos May be, but it's produced to sound so very polished... I gave it a listen three or four times in stores, when it was new, but never took a liking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man with the Golden Arm Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 The difference between them discos IMO is Medeski vs Anthony Coleman. Medeski seems to have more a grasp of the groove created by Ribot and the rhythm team that is rooted a bit more in the afro than Coleman who seems to tinker about and let those Sun Ra echos in his head come to play. Both good and even better as a whole all smattered about on a single disc. Any ever heard his Haitian music explorations? but please yall go here: afraid?, no...

.:.impossible Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I think the main difference for me is the overpresence of vocals on the second, as if Ribot thought he was becoming a singing cubano sensation! Hold off on the singing Ribot, and let your fingers do the walking! You guys like the Tzadik album under Roberto Juan Rodriquez' name, El Danzon de Moises?
